After School Enrichment (ASE) Committee

The After-School Enrichment (ASE) Program is a volunteer-run FOH program that aims to provide high-quality after-school enrichment classes for Hawthorne students. It takes hundreds of volunteer hours each session to organize and run the ASE program. We are a small committee of parents and we need additional volunteers to help keep the program running smoothly and sustainably.

Please email enrichment@friendsofhawthorne.org for more information on all volunteer opportunties.
